Rich is accused of starting a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old shortly after she began substitute teaching in early 2015, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jay Baker said.

Rich is accused of having sex with an 18-year-old months later.

The Cherokee County School District notified police about the allegations.

"Our detectives conducted an investigation and determined that Rich had sex with a 16-year-old student in early 2015 and then had sex with an 18-year-old student in late 2015. The encounters occurred at her former home in Acworth," Baker said in a statement.

In a statement, the school district said Rich's last day as a substitute was August 19.
